Growitup Greenhouse 2011

I forgot, My my boy Max turned one year old last week.
He's really filled out. Didn't get as tall as I thought he was going to but thats fine with me. His coat has awesome highlights, his mom was a lighter color and his pop was dark red. he knows basic commands, does them when he wants to, we are working on that. He's going to the lake with me this year, Got a cabin at Pillsbury lake reserved for a week in July. My buddy goes every year, he has all the toys boat, wave runner tubes and skis.

I got him a couple toys but that yellow egg, "jolly egg" is a kick. He plays with it for hours.

Nobody told me golden retrievers took two years before they acted like adult dogs.
Another year of puppy-dom but with a full size dog. I like it when he is happy to see me but I'm gone for 5 minutes and its like Days. He thinks hes a 70lb lap dog too (not my doing) he chases his tail and gets a bite into it and keep circling... Puppy's, gotta love'em.

Dam max is getting big, good looking boy there cruze.

Cant wait for this summer to get off and kicking, looks like you are way ahead of the game this year!!

Thanks man, Yeah, I hope not too far ahead considering I got another two months to veg. By topping and training I know I'll be able to fill the screens.
It's the two I plan on putting in the center that I'm not sure how to prune. I want bushes but I need some height cause once that screen is full there will be shade all around them.

Thanks buddy, I wasn't sure if I should post that vid, not being about plants and all but I got to thinking, part of the reason I got max was to have a dog in the yard that would bark or make noise if someone jumped the fence so I guess he's got something to do with the grow. You got a boxer? That was one of the breeds I was considering but shied away from it for some reason. 4 years old and still acts like a puppy, Lucky you!

Sups Cruz?

Loving ur scrog idea =) Cool u got another Mazar going for this summer ^^
Btw do Max eat leaves of the plants? My bullterrier ate a whole buncha leaves after I had trimmed few weeks ago. Fell asleep after trimming w lots of leaves on the floor. He was stoned/sick for 3 days.

After seeing your set up I yearn for a greenhouse. I have been hoping to have one for years. Iit looks like you have a co2 setup? What exactly Would be needed ? I live in the desert, it would be legal grow. I grow in containers with a drip. I am looking at keeping the cost in line.

What do you suggest? I just love your set up. Your plant look so happy.

are you hand watering the ladies in the green house?

Hi bud, I thought of you when I started the Mazar. I started five seeds and only one popped, was gonna pm you but when only one made it I figured i wait till I had a plant. I don't know if it's female or not, it's going to be a cabinet grow. Kinda the bastard step child now. If it turns out to be a female, I'll smoke it. If it's a male, well then I'll have a good amount of trainwreck/mazar and bubba kush/mazar seeds.

Ha! I remember the pics of "Bad dog" Bummer he got sick. At least now he knows his limits!

Wow that sounds like a trip, in containers in the desert huh? Do you bury them to keep temps down?
If ya got power then a tank/regulator with a solenoid on a timer would be the cheapest way to go.

The big girls are on the system but the little girls I have been hand watering. I hit them every other day.

Tomorrow I'll pick the two for the center isle and transplant to the 10 gallon pots. The others I'll move to 3 gal. and plug them all in.

Only 1 sprouted, maybe old seeds cuz that Mazar isnt that popular theese days?...every1 wants them strains with "cool" names.

I'll see if I can get me hands on some Mazar seeds =)

man ive had 3 TD's not sprout on me, last two im using your method. I normaly jsut put them in soil with np at all not this go i guess. guess it will be a while before i smell some TD growing

or mabey i will set up the humidity domw and 2 rockwoll cubes with starter souliton hummm... what ya think cruz with 2 beans and never having used the wet papper towl in a bag germination method.

Yea, they were a couple years old. I forgot to answer you about Max, Yea he eats the leaf, bud, stems, whatever he can get a hold of. Doesnt like the smoke though.
If you wanna send me some seed I will grow it. That would be cool man.

I havent tried wet towels in a baggie, I use a small covered bowl. Get a shot glass, a soup bowl and a plate.
Drop the seeds in a shot glass of water and let sit over night, next day get a paper towel and fold it up so it fits in the bowl, get it wet and pour out the excess water. Open the last fold of the towel and drop the seeds in then fold it back up, cover it with a plate and set it on top of the fridge or dvr, something that will keep it warm. I bet you got sprouts in two days. Works for me every time. (I didn't do that with the Mazar, I tried starting them in the cubes and it didnt work)

will do sir ty

Week 4
Fed them once and they been on water the rest of the week.
I got the smaller plants transplanted, One Train and one bubba for in the greenhouse in 10 gallon pots and the rest in 3 gallon pots, Those will flower in my cab. This week I'm gonna start training the Tangerine dream.

I put up clear panels on the east and west side to get a bit more morning and afternoon sun.

Ha! I didn't realize it cause I'm used to it but Max was messin with my neighbors chiwawas through the fence.

Are you sure your going to be able to keep the lid on this time, their getting rather large rather quickly and the summer solstice is only just approaching so quite a few weeks until they start to flower.
They're looking nice and healthy tho good work Cruzer

Lookin great cruze, i did notice a little yellowing on your TW in the 10 gal, but im sure you got it under control

Another day in paradise
Great work Cruzer

Thanks man, Yeah, I figure about 6 more weeks of veg. I sure hope I can keep the lid on this round.
Only things I am sure about is dying and paying taxes, The rest, well my guess is as good as yours.

This is what I do with 99% success rate in sprouting. I put my beans in moistened soil (starter soil) in party cups, placem under a humidity dome (mini green house), keep the temp at 26-28C (78-83F). This is what it looks like after roughly 48-72h. Its that simple! If they dont sprout under theese conditions, theres something wrong w ur beans!

edit: hmmm...pic dont show up! Anywho, 12 outta 15 beans sprouted so far, 4 dif strains. 1 of the beans had grown its root tip the wrong way so i had to dig it up and place it the "right way". This probably happened due to me placing the bean wrong. This can be tricky if U dont know what ur doing. The "pointy" tip of the bean should be facing the bottom of the cup, cuz thats where the tap root will crack. GL HF! =)

edit2: anotehr 2 beans popped during the day. so far 14 outta 15 =) Dont complicate things, just throw them bennies in dirt and keep the temp constant and the Rh high ...fool proof!

Nice and simple lol who woulda thought just putting a seed in some dirt would work lol
I have very good germ rates with just soaking over night in a warm spot then throw into some starter... poof! lol sometimes I also scuff the seeds before soaking.

I hear ya, It's so easy for stoners to complicate things. I know, I do it myself.


Well I started training, we got some thick stalks man.
I bent the two on the short side half way today cause I really dont want to pinch them, I want em to continue along the screen and when I have super cropped in the past it seems to slow it down. I'll bend it more in a couple days. Here are some shots of the taller one.







Check out the size of these fan leaves,










The plants under the taller screens have about a week to go before I can bend the main stalk.
